I agree with you Pete. It not just DVD, CD's or Video... Same excrement, different product... :)
Some books are better as library or used books for a one time reading, and some I want to own a limited edition hard cover edition signed by the author. These are the same sales and marketing techniques that have been used for thousands of years. "Ah, yes I sold you those average goats yesterday, but look at these superb goats I have for you today!"
I approach all purchases the same. So people need to learn to differentiate consumables from treasures. If it is a treasure, it is worthwhile to do the product research to prevent getting screwed. I avoid any sales that are time pressure ("Buy now before they leave the shelves!" "Be the first one to get the newest XYZ")
